The Science of Art Family Fun Day

Join us for a day of free activities for all the family! Our hands-on activities and trails for curious kids bring to life the fascinating stories of science, materials and making behind the artworks and objects in our collection. 

What amazing new technologies reveal the secrets hidden beneath the surface? And what did artists from 200 years ago know about colour and clouds? Find out the answers to these questions and more through our series of imaginative and playful activities. 

There’s no need to book, simply drop in on the day.
